The TRUTH About Potatoes (and other “White” Starches)
3 Seriously Misguided Carb Choices
Today’s video should be a real eye-opener and give you a whole new outlook on eating white starches for fat loss.
You see most people select starches for health and fat loss based on three seriously misguided strategies.
1. Because they’re high in fiber
If you’re selecting starchy carbs (like whole grains) because they have more fiber in them, you’re missing the real purpose behind starchy carb selection.
Fiber is awesome. But getting fiber from your starches is really unnecessary. Just click the “play” button above and you’ll uncover the 2 sources of food you should using to get 95% of your fiber intake.
2. Because they have a low glycemic index
Selecting carbs based on their glycemic index is another seriously misguided choice. I explain (in detail) exactly why in today’s vid.
The glycemic index really legit? Or is it overrated? The answer may just shock you.
3. Because they have more protein
Whole grain or starch-based proteins are way overrated for two big reasons. I reveal both of them above.
If you’re choosing your starchy carbs based on these 3 criteria, you’ve been seriously misled. I’m not saying to cut whole grains completely out of your plan, but after you see today’s message you’ll have a whole new outlook on starches.
Listen, I know this information challenges the normal belief systems of the weight loss industry, but after watching today’s video the reasons why will become very obvious.

Also…IF I get a couple dozen people to “like” today’s post I’ll be back in a day or two with three more powerful reasons to eat more “white” starches so you can accelerate your fat loss and lean muscle gains.
I know how busy today’s crazy world gets, so I want you to know that I appreciate you spending time on this blog!

Even though the glycemic index changes when you combine foods wouldnt it be better to mix two lower glycemic foods instead of one high and one low to create a medium glycemic meal? Maybe it’s just tough to get my my mind around it.
Thanks for the input. But in what moderation to we need to consume potatoes and white rice in order to be most efficient in muscle retention and fat loss?
Interested in finding out more about adding more white carbs for fat loss. Also want to know more on how your new product will fit in with your current program (I am doing the 26 week program). Thanks for coming out of hiding!
I appreciate all of these tips. I was led to believe that white starches are terrible. I am going to watch the video but I know if you are telling me that it is true. I have used that 12 minutes workout with great success. It is brutal to actually do it. Thanks for that as well.
Very valid question and definitely something to consider. It really depends on the time of day (a.m. or p.m.), individual goals (i.e. fat loss / muscle gain / or both)….AND whether or not the meal is consumed pre and / or post workout.
All of these factors need to be taken into consideration. In video 3 of this series (vid 2 coming first) I talk more about timing, combinations, and portion control.
You are absolutely correc in saying that this kind of goes against what has been taught in the past. I am also curious about garrett’s question up top concerning two mid-glycemic meals vs. one high – one low. Thanks for putting this up.
I was seeking information on Wendy when I found you. Wonderful to see someone is carrying on her work. Your information is enthralling. Looking forward to seeing more of you.
